Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Confrontation (1)
Feeling the change in the atmosphere after Wu Shanxian finished speaking, Ye Tianchi smiled and filled his wine cup with wine. He raised his wine cup and said, “General Wu, I’m just asking. Since you don’t like it, I will punish myself with this cup of wine.”

After saying that, Ye Tianchi immediately drank the wine. When the ministers and generals who supported him saw this, they all applauded and praised him.

Ye Tianchi put down his wine cup, stood up, and smiled, “Everyone, let’s see what work General Wu still needs to do today when we all have a day off.”

Without waiting for Wu Shanxian, Ye Tianchi led the ministers and generals out. As soon as he left the pavilion, he saw a maidservant stopped by the imperial guards. Ye Tianchi recognized this maidservant as his granddaughter’s first-ranked maidservant and quickly shouted to the imperial guards.

“Stop!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the maidservant looked up and saw him. Seeing Ye Tianchi, the maidservant’s eyes were red, and tears fell from her eyes like rain.

She choked with sobs and shouted desperately, “Lao Ye, please save the eldest young lady! She was bullied and is now unconscious in the flower garden!”

When Ye Tianchi heard this, his face darkened, and he walked quickly towards the maidservant. The imperial guards saw that the maidservant really knew Ye Tianchi, so they let go of her and stepped aside. When she was free, the maidservant rushed to Ye Tianchi and knelt before him with a thud.

Before she could speak, Ye Tianchi asked anxiously, “Hurry up and tell me. What happened to Yu’er?”

The maid wiped her tears and said, “Answering Lao Ye. The eldest young lady just taught a young eunuch a lesson because he dared to block her way. However, a wild girl came out of nowhere and suddenly slapped the eldest young lady, knocking her unconscious and ruining her face! Lao Ye, please bring justice to the Eldest Young Lady!”

Wu Shanxian stood next to Ye Tianchi and said calmly, “Miss Ye is really delicate and could be knocked unconscious with a slap. She should stay home so she doesn’t get accidentally hurt.”

Sensing the gloating in Wu Shanxian’s tone, Ye Tianchi glared at him and then turned to look at the maidservant.

“Take me to see Yu’er!”

The maidservant quickly got up from the ground and led the way. The bored ministers and generals saw that something interesting was going on and decided to follow Ye Tianchi. Not long after, a large group of people led by the maidservant came to the flower garden.

When Madam Guan saw her husband and Xin Yucheng among them, she tapped Madam Xin’s hand lightly with her embroidered fan, “Look at that. Isn’t that yours and my husband? Why are they also here?”

Madam Xin followed Madam Guan’s gaze and saw her husband whispering to Guan Zhiyao. She fanned slowly and chuckled, “It looks like they are going to tell another interesting story when we get home later.”

Madam Guan covered her curved lips with her embroidered fan and sighed, “If there are no interesting stories in life, what fun would there be? It is perfect for them to share these stories with us to relieve our boredom.”

As soon as Madam Guan said these words, the two of them chuckled and waited patiently for the show to unfold. At the same time, Ye Tianchi also rushed toward the pavilion. When he saw his beloved granddaughter lying unconscious on the dirty ground with a swollen face, he flew into a rage.

“Who did this?! Who dares to hit my Yu’er?!”

Seeing him coming, the madams and young ladies quickly backed away from Ye Shuyu. Looking at Ye Tianchi’s furious face, the young eunuch thought for a second and slipped away quietly without anyone noticing.

“Yu’er!”

Ye Tianchi hurriedly approached his granddaughter and wanted to pick her up, but his old body no longer had the strength to pick Ye Shuyu up. He looked around and saw no maidservants or eunuchs who could help him.

Although many people are coming with him, they are not relatives. They should not touch Ye Shuyu to avoid ruining her reputation.

He gritted his teeth, looked at Ye Shuyu’s personal maidservant, and shouted, “What are you doing there?! Why don’t you take Yu’er away quickly?!”

The maidservant trembled all over in fear and hurriedly picked up Ye Shuyu from the ground. Because Chi Xinru, Chi Xiyou, and Duan Yixin stood between them and the pavilion, the maidservant had no choice but to walk to the side with Ye Shuyu on her back.

After checking on his granddaughter, Ye Tianchi looked at Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked coldly, “Are you three bullying my granddaughter?”

Duan Yixin looked at Ye Tianchi and asked, “This old master, please be careful with what you say. Who said we bullied your granddaughter?”

This was the first time a young lady dared to ask him instead of obediently answering his questions. Ye Tianchi looked Duan Yixin up and down, and the more he looked at her, the more familiar she became.

He frowned slightly and asked, “What family do you come from? Who is your father?”

Duan Yixin stared at him for a few seconds and said, “I come from an ordinary family.”

Ye Tianchi didn’t believe her answer and looked at her coldly, “Do you think I’m stupid? Today’s banquet can only be attended by nobles and officials. Speak! Who are you? What do you want to do when you sneak into the imperial palace? Do you want to kill my granddaughter or assassinate the imperial family?!”

Hearing these words, the Chi siblings became angry and wanted to hit Ye Tianchi, but Duan Yixin stopped them. It would be bad if they made trouble today and alerted the enemies.

Seeing that the three of them could only stand there silently, Ye Tianchi sneered, “Guards, come and arrest these assassins!”
